Diamond Dragon

The most valuable gem,

Gifted, by the great warrior,

Promised, by the superiors,

Their wingtips, sacred,

''Awesome power, possessed. ''

The Diamond Dragons are one of the largest dragons. They are diamond-white in colour. They are smart and use weird strategies to kill prey. At the end of their tail, they have a small diamond, a diamond so precious, there is only one and cannot be found on Earth itself.

Appearance
The diamond dragons are diamond-white in colour. They have small curved teeth for tearing large prey. Unlike most other dragons, the diamond dragons have no long canine fangs. Diamond dragons have large calves for carrying prey while flying. The talons of the diamond dragons are extremely long, growing up to twenty centimetres. The wings of the diamond dragons are quite big when compared to body, which lets them hover and stay at the same spot while in the air.

Size
The diamond dragons are the second largest dragons, growing up to fifty metres in length and seventeen metres in height. Their colossal size is sometimes a disadvantage; they get spot quite easily by prey. But its size doesn’t interfere with speed; diamond dragons are the lords of agility and speed, flying at speeds of up to seventy kilometres per hour.

Abilities
Diamond dragons can produce red flames that can instantly create bushfires. Diamond dragons are water type creatures; they can pump cannons of water with devastating force. Diamond dragons can also swim effortlessly through water quickly; they can swim from Anlièasiá to Crandore in only a few hours. They can harden their wings, making them swords. With this ability, diamond dragons cut trees to make way of their bulkiness.

Habitat
Diamond dragons mainly live in the Albion Wilderness, but some live in Crandore. Diamond dragons have nothing to fear in the wilderness, because there are no creatures brave enough to go near them.

Hunting
Diamond dragons would rather ambush their prey then stalk. They hide their bodies by finding thick forests, and then when the time is right, they plunge right into the prey and bite the victim. They always seem to follow that tactic, and always seems that they are successful. They hunt normally griffins and hippogriffs, which migrate to where they live.

Element
Diamond dragons are water types in primary, but also have air characteristics and steel characteristics. Diamond dragons use all three of their elements when in combat with each other and other enemies.
